The micro-immunofluorescence (micro-IF) method was used to type rickettsiae belonging to the spotted fever or typhus groups according to their surface antigens, and results obtained by micro-IF are in general agreement with other procedures for antigenic differentiation of ricksettsiae belong to the SFG and TG.
